To a Lady Sleeping O thou whose fringèd lids I gaze upon, Through whose dim brain the wingèd dreams are born, Unroof the shrines of clearest vision, In honour of the silverfleckèd morn: Long hath the white wave of the virgin light Driven back the billow of the dreamful dark. Thou all unwittingly prolongest night, Though long ago listening the poisèd lark, With eyes dropt downward through the blue serene, Over heaven’s parapets the angels lean.
